Chapter 91 Return
Heavy snow can indeed cause trouble for hunters, but so can wild beasts.
Originally relying on their strong physical fitness and powerful instincts, the wild beasts had the upper hand in confronting the hunters.
In many cases, even if hunters find their tracks, it is difficult to catch them, and they can only watch them escape.
Encountering their siege, the hunters were unable to escape quickly, and would often fall into a hard fight, get injured, and even lose their lives from time to time.
This is also the main reason Wu and Bao are so worried about the hunters trapped in the heavy snow.
As for the general problem of getting lost, they didn't take it very seriously.
It was not the first time for them to go to those hunting grounds, and they were familiar with them. In addition, there were grass signs to guide the way, which were the grass signs that Fengyun saw when he lost his way. It would not be a big problem to return to the tribe smoothly.
What they really worry about is another kind of getting lost, being attacked by wild beasts, getting lost while fleeing.
Under such circumstances, most of them would panic and lose track of where they were going, let alone leave a draft sign.
This kind of getting lost, in most cases, will evolve into a real getting lost.
At this time they are very dangerous.
Not to mention, they may be attacked by savage beasts, hunger is also a big challenge for them, and the deadliest thing is cold.
According to the law, after the heavy snowfall, the temperature will drop sharply, and the dripping water will turn into ice, and the cold will also have a strong penetrating power, drilling straight into the bones and internal organs, and you can't hide even if you want to hide.
Over time, even totem warriors would be frozen to death.
Now everything is different because of the snowboard.
With the help of snowboards, hunters have largely overcome the negative impact of heavy snow on them, especially the speed, which is not even much worse than before the snow fell.
With speed, it was the turn of the beasts to be unlucky.
When they were chased by hunters, they couldn't run fast in the thick snow.
Even if they escape by chance, they are generally huge in size and will leave very clear tracks in the snow.
Even if the snow in the sky does not stop, they will not be completely covered up in a while, and hunters can easily track their whereabouts by following them.
But these are not the biggest benefits that snowboards bring to hunters.
The biggest advantage is that their safety has been greatly guaranteed.
Thanks to the help of skis, their speed can be maintained at a very high level. After mastering skiing skills, it is not difficult for hunters with strong control, and they can also have extremely high flexibility sex.
With both speed and flexibility, they can adopt safer and more efficient hunting methods when dealing with wild beasts.
First, use high speed to approach the target and launch an attack. The short distance will greatly improve both the accuracy of the attack and the damage caused, and the hunting success rate and efficiency will naturally increase a lot.
If the wild beasts were not killed immediately under their attack, they could choose to retreat and distance themselves to avoid the danger brought by their berserk.
The high speed and flexibility endowed by skis can ensure that they can evacuate safely before being counterattacked by wild beasts, greatly reducing the danger they face.
At the beginning of the winter hunting ceremony, the witch made a fortune teller. Although the hunters were very happy, their hearts were not completely relieved.
Many of them are veterans of hunting, and they are well aware of the danger of wild beasts. During the hunting process, it is really too difficult to avoid harm during the hunting process.
It wasn't until the appearance of the skis that they finally completely convinced Wu's divination results.
With the help of skis, it is possible to hunt without death, or even without injury.
The results of winter hunting also proved this point.
After the 12-day winter hunting, none of the hunters died, and only less than ten people were injured. Most of them were injured for other reasons. Only three people were actually injured by wild beasts.
The injuries of these three people are not serious, at least they will not be disabled, and after a period of recuperation, they will be a lively man again.
This heavy snow, which rarely appeared in winter hunting in previous years, was also very face-saving, and it fell for three full days.
Although the snow became smaller later, it never stopped.
The hunters were all very happy.
Of course, they would be happy only because of the existence of the skis, otherwise, after such a long period of snow, they might have the heart to cry.
With God's help, the thick snow on the ground made the wild beasts have nowhere to escape. As long as they were targeted by the hunters, almost all of them were spared.
Later, some high-level savage beasts that they didn't dare to provoke easily on weekdays also became their targets, and achieved quite good results.
With the help of the huge advantages that snowboards bring to hunters, in this unequal winter hunting, an unprecedented bumper harvest has been obtained.
There are so many wild beasts hunted that they can't fit in each house and need to be stacked outside the door.
Three days before the end of the hunt, Wu had no choice but to order to stop the hunting of the wild beasts, otherwise the reproduction of the wild beasts in the coming year might be affected.
So the hunters turned to hunting common beasts.
Even wild beasts are not their opponents, let alone wild beasts. As long as they are targeted by them, they will almost certainly die.
The hunters who had a good harvest became very generous.
For the common wild animals hunted, except for a part kept by the family, a part is handed over to the witch as the common property of the tribe, and the rest is distributed to the orphans, or families that have lost hunters.
This winter, everyone in the tribe can eat meat, and they don't have to be too restrained, they can eat it often, because the harvest is so rich.
As the source of all this, Fengyun's status in the hearts of the hunters has been greatly improved, and in the hearts of ordinary people in the tribe, he is regarded as an existence second only to witches.
Although they were attacked by monsters while fishing in the Blue Lagoon and lost a lot of soldiers, they were not ungrateful people, so they knew that it was not his fault.
It is impossible for him to know the existence of monsters in advance.
Besides, he didn't let them go fishing in the blue lake, they went by themselves, let alone blame him.
Therefore, before this, his status among the ordinary people of the tribe was quite high.
Of course, this promotion of status is not only due to his invention of fishing gear, but also because of the kang, cellar and loom.
The kang can prevent them from being frozen to death, and the cellar can prevent the food they collect from being damaged by freezing, and can ensure that they have food in winter and will not starve to death.
The loom gave them the ability to support themselves.
The sackcloth won the favor of all in the tribe when it first appeared, but weaving took time.
Hunters need to go hunting from time to time, time is tight, but they also want to get linen, what should they do, the only way to do it is to exchange.
The loom does not have any requirements for the operator, and it can be used by ordinary people, and it can be used very well.
The linen they weave can be exchanged with hunters, not only for furs, but also for fresh meat, or even whole beasts, which greatly improves their quality of life.
They all knew very well who was responsible for all these changes, so they kept Fengyun's goodness in their hearts and wanted to repay him.
Thanks to this winter hunting, this kind of gratitude reached a critical point, and they asked Wu for orders to make Fengyun the leader of the tribe who had been vacant for fifty years.
The leader is an extremely important existence in every tribe, second only to witches.
Under normal circumstances, there are three main tasks for the leader. One is to train warriors, guard the tribe, and fight other tribes. The second is to communicate with other tribes.
The Yan Snake Tribe originally had a leader, but since the defeat and death of the leader fifty years ago, Wu has never picked a new leader.
His original intention was to prevent people from being blinded by hatred and encourage the leaders to lead them to revenge.
Even though there were many reasons for their defeat, not even because the enemy was stronger than the Yan Snake Tribe, the tribe had suffered heavy losses after all, and to seek revenge now would be completely self-defeating.
Later, because the tribe returned to the ancestral land, there was no need to fight and communicate with other tribes, the need for leaders was greatly reduced, and no new leaders were elected.
The hunters did not object to the initiative of making Fengyun the leader, and some even expressed their support clearly.
However, most of them think that Fengyun's ability is indeed very strong, but after all, he is too young and immature.
Becoming a leader requires dealing with many things, some of which are even related to the life and death of the tribe, and requires careful consideration, which requires a mature mind and rich experience.
Obviously, in their eyes, this is exactly what Fengyun lacks the most.
But the appearance of a person dispelled their doubts.
He is violent, he stands up for Fengyun, saying that he is indeed a little younger now, but it is not impossible for him to grow up, he will have a mature mind and rich experience.
What's more, now that the tribe is in the ancestral land, there is no need to fight or communicate with other tribes, and there is no need to worry about Fengyun bringing the tribe into danger.
The rest of the hunters thought about it, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, so they agreed, and together with the others, proposed to Wu to make Fengyun the new leader.
To everyone's surprise, Wu readily agreed to their proposal.
They originally thought that with Wu's prudence, even if they agreed, they should ask for a suspension, and wait until Fengyun was old enough to make him the official leader.
In the end, Fengyun still failed to become the leader of the Yan Snake Tribe, not because of any accidents, but because he himself declined.
After becoming a leader, the power is indeed great, but the responsibility that needs to be borne is also great, even being responsible for the life and death of the entire tribe.
That was an extremely important burden, and once he shouldered it, the happy days he longed for would say goodbye to him.
This is not what he wants to see.
